Now that Daniel and Sinead have been told the devastating news that she has only months to live and that 8-month old Bertie will grow up without his mum, it is worth considering the disproportionately high number of Corrie children who have lost their mothers.
Think of the motherless children who living on the Street right now:
- Faye Windass, whose drug-addicted birth mother abandoned her and later died.
- Simon Barlow, whose mother, Lucy, died (offscreen) from cancer when he was 5.
- Aadi and Asha Alahan, whose mother, Sunita, was murdered by Karl Munro when they were 7.
- Jack Webster, whose mother, Molly, died in the tragic 2010 tram collapse when he was a baby.
- Ruby Dobbs, whose mother, Kirsty, abandoned her when she was a baby.
- Max and Lily Platt, whose mother, Kylie, was murdered by Clayton Hibbs when they were 10 and 3.
- Joseph Brown, whose mother, Katy, died (offscreen) in a car crash when he was 5.
Other cases over the years include:
- Peter and Susan Barlow, whose mother, Valerie, died after being electrocuted, when they were 5.
- Adam Barlow (in a case of history-repeating,) whose mother, Susan, died in a car crash when he was 12.
- Daniel Osborne, whose mother, Denise, abandoned him when he was a teenager
- Tommy Duckworth, whose mother, Lisa, died after being hit by a car, when he was a baby.
- The Mallet twins, Becky and Billy, whose mother, Judy, died of an aneurysm when they were babies.
- Chesney Brown, whose mother Cilla, repeatedly abandoned him throughout his childhood.
- Emma Brooker, whose mother, Fiona, abandoned her when she was a teenager.
What do you think of Corrie’s history of motherless babes? Is it bad luck or by design? And are there any other examples that I have missed?
